Why “New Zealand greenshell mussels” are sooo special ;)

Okay,… when I saw the words “New Zealand greenshell mussels” on the package, I though it’s merely a marketing strategy to give the impression that New Zealand-grown mussels are of superior quality.

NZ greenshell mussels are indeed very special

I've been conducting a laboratory experiment on shellfish in the past weeks

Findings:-
Shellfish seem to be in a state of perpetual arousal
